The Linha do Corgo - named after the Rio Corgo which it follows - originally ran from Régua via Vila Real to Chaves but the northern section of the line between Vila Real and Chaves closed in 1990.
On 25 March 2009 the remaining service on the line (between Régua and Vila Real) was suspended due to the condition of the track. Repairs were promised and the line was expected to reopen by 2011. In practice, due to budgetary constraints, the repairs have not been forthcoming and the replacement bus service was itself withdrawn with effect from 1 January 2012.
